Nattering Nabobs of Negativity
A famous politician who was more adept with his verbiage than he was with his ethical stance once called a group of journalists the "nattering nabobs of negativity." Three points to the one who identifies him first.
In this country, the NNN are the Democrats, yapping about Iraq while our very brave troops try to do a very difficult mission. Being sick, I tend to get angry easier than when I am well, and I referred to John Murtha as being a "weak-kneed and treasonous pacifist." A hermit dared me to say it to his face and I asked hermit to email Congressman Murtha and link him to the site so he could defend himself. Me versus Murtha ought to be a fair fight in person or via the internet, at least when I am not sick as a dog.
But sometimes my commenters help me rein myself in, and in fact a hermit, a guy I almost never agree with on anything, made me think. Do I really think that John Murtha is treasonous? Hmm. He served his country, which I admire and which is a patriotic act. I suppose I don't even want to think that he is treasonous. It would be a sad thing for a patriotic American to take such a bad turn in his life to go from Marine to Benedict Arnold. Okay, I guess I don't truly think he is treasonous. His service to his country automatically gives him the benefit of the doubt.
I believe strongly, however, that the stance Murtha takes is one invented by weak-kneed and treasonous pacifists who are willing to see this country be destroyed rather than continue as the strong and free entity it is today. It pains me that a military veteran such as himself could take such an anti-military and anti-freedom stand as he does on Iraq. I also believe he does so for purposes of political gain and that he doesn't seem to either see or care that his actions are dangerous to the troops on the ground in Iraq. The more the terrorists think they can scare the US out of Iraq, the more likely they are to find and set up some more IED's or blow themselves up in a public place. So I do believe that Murtha's motives are political in nature and therefore reprehensible. Yes, there, now there is a strong word I can endorse. I believe Murtha's actions are reprehensible.
You who agree with Murtha, start going to sites on the internet where soldiers are posting and see what the feet on the ground have to say. Go to Iraq the Model to see what an Iraqi point of view might be. Get a point of view from someone other than CNN or the Daily Kos.
Crawling back into my sick bed....thanks for the encouragement, creeper!
